Parmi les membres du comité figurait Gamal Moubarak, le fils du chef d'État pressenti depuis plusieurs années pour succéder à son père. Des réseaux de télévision arabes, dont Al-Arabiya et Al-Jazira, ont d'abord rapporté samedi que le président avait lui aussi quitté la formation politique. Mais la chaîne Al-Arabiya s'est rétractée pour affirmer que le raïs restait à la tête du parti. Le président Moubarak a nommé le réformiste Hossam Badraoui au poste de secrétaire général du PND.

Washington a qualifié ce développement d'« étape positive », mais a dit s'attendre à des « gestes supplémentaires ».

Egyptian soldiers, who have been isolated on the Gaza border for the past 10 days, due to the internal upheaval, are getting bread, canned food and other supplies from the impoverished coastal enclave through the tunnels.

Since 2006, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have resorted to the so-called feeding tubes to deliver their basic needs to the enclave which has been sealed off by an Israeli blockade.
